Eyeglass Frame Parts

Hello all,
I've a Revlon metal frame in which the part of the temple that
attaches the hinge came off. None of the shops that we tried wanted to fix it.

What have other diy done when this happens?

For my next pair, do you have any suggestions on good
quality frames that won't break the bank?

Is flexon/titanium worth it? The low end costs nearly $200.

let me know.

Thank you!!

I want new glasses to. Im going to get Lacoste frames. LA 12013. Cheap to. I found them for like $139

My metal eyeglass frame has broken at the nose piece (separating the glasses into two halves). The break occurred riight where the curved nose piece attaches to the main frame just next to the lens.

A previous soldered repair "sealed" the screw such that I cannot take the lens out, so that soldering is out. I did "try" some super glue, but it didn't hold. However, it was not a "brand name" and may not have been the best choice. Is there a glue/cement/epoxy that I can use to attach (perhaps just 1-2 mm of contact is avaialable) the two parts of the metal frame to get a "good enough" repair? I am not certain of the material but it is light, and possibly aluminum or a light alloy.

I wear contacts, so these are backups and I don't wanrt to spend $$$ for a new set since I rarely use them.

Also, any recommnedqations on how to improve the bond to give it the best strength would also be helpful.

Thanks in advance

Some careful work with fibreglass and resin should hold the parts together, although cosmetically probably not great. Otherwise, you could get inventive with some steel wire and your soldering gun. Either way, before very long you will need a new pair, keep an eye out for special deals, or find a (smaller-lensed) frame and ask your optician just to grind down your lenses and fit them, which shouldn't cost much.

Hello,

I'd like to know more about designing eyeglass frames. From other similar questions i found that the design phase is done in a 3d cad environment. Got it :)

Furthermore o need some help with:
a) finding a 3d human head model that i can import and create the frames on it
b) are the two parts of the frame identical? are there any rules and regulations i should consider?
c) after I finally designed a glass frame, to whom do i sell it?

Thank you for your answers! :)

go to junior college and study design

I placed this question here since the consideration is a "metal repair"

Thanks in advance

It's not gonna look good but you can try JB weld It's 2 compounds that when you mix them together they react.Use a Popsicle stick to mix them put a little on both sides. Use a rubber band to keep the metal repair tight.In about an hr you'll have a permanent bond That will be hard as metal just follow the directions. It can be sanded down too look better after it cures. Good luck

They are classic, and I believe that that particular style has a name, I just don't know what it is. They are not like the ones that Buddy Holly wore, and they are not cat eye glasses. The top part and the legs are plastic (I think), and the bottom part of the front is metal. I want to find some frames online of this style, but I cannot do it unless I have the name of the style. Doing google searches for "eyeglass frames" and "Malcolm X" produces very limited results.

they're called browlines.
